Abstract
This article considers the role of the arts and women in the economy from the late 19th into the early 20th century. Throughout this time period, the economics discipline did very little to address the place of either the arts or women in the modernizing economy and what little was done, on the whole, lacked complexity. This article thus begins with a brief outline of the views of the arts and women in the economy by economists during this time, but finding a greater wealth of information on these topics within creative literature, uses the work of prominent novelists as its primary research material
